I started college at 14. I was more than ready and have had nothing but solid 4.0 grades through all the colleges I have attended.
High school was a joke and nearly a complete waste of time, and I went to one of the worst black high schools in the country and two of the best and affluent high schools. There were major differences between the schools but college is what provided my education, not the high schools.
I am also all for the Early College programs, like the Colorado Early Colleges, that send kids to college instead of High School. They earn a 4 year degree and their high school diploma together. They are part of the public school charter programs and are free to the students.
Because of slut culture, the prettier 18+ year old college girls date in the big leagues. Most young men experience poor dating choices from age 18 until around age 35. Then the script flips. Average looking 14-year-old boys might be advised to get their romance education in high school, before their blackout period starts. Advanced leftist brainwashing can wait.

***I went to what was arguably the worst high school in the nation. A woman who taught there wrote a book about it, it became the movie Dangerous Minds with Michelle Pfeiffer.

They didn’t have such programs when I went there. I heard about the High School Proficiency Exam in my advanced Math class, thought about it for 3 days, and decided to quit high school and take the test. I was in college the next semester. I like to say I willingly went to high school for 3 days.
If I had been aware of any alternatives, I could have done things completely different. But the education folks [including my dad, who was a teacher] are not interested in showing you alternatives.
Right there with you.
High Skrewel was stupid.
